The Colorado Avalanche made two huge trades over one year ago, acquiring Scott Wedgewood from the Nashville Predators and Mackenzie Blackwood from the San Jose Sharks. In the trade for Wedgewood, the Avs included a goalie themselves in Justus Annunen. Despite not doing enough to stick around in Colorado, Annunen has found a home that believes in him. The Predators have signed the 25 year old to a contract extension on Monday.
Annunen was never really a household name at any point but he did quite well for the Avalanche during his time as a backup.
